关于此本 · About this edition
Thirteen chapters on war, written sometime in the fifth century BCE and never really improved on. The Art of War is not a book about fighting — it is a book about arranging things so that fighting is unnecessary, or so that it is already decided before the first move.
It reads cleanly in Chinese because it is almost entirely composed of short declarative sentences. That makes it one of the best texts for a learner who wants something real, short and structurally regular.
《孫子兵法》十三篇，中國現存最早兵書，句短而整，宜於精讀。
